Ooops! Word's gotten around at the workplace that Charlie is mad at me for not updating our playlists. They are all written on napkins & stuff in my junk drawer. As long as I have them it's out of sight out of mind for me...

My bad.

Whoa! I guess it has serioiusly been a long time on here! At least I didn't make it to a month. Close though!Also, the internet was down for about 4 weeks of programming, so most of these (up until May 2nd) are not available to download or stream online.

Let's go backwards chronologically.

May 9th, 2010Lotta folk music. The more I thought about it, the more I started thinking that if folk music is 'for the people', wouldn't punk music have alot in common with it? In fact, you could almost say that any form of music is folk music.Coming off the crest of seeing Ólöf Arnalds play as part of Nuna/Now, and preparing yourself for NoBunny.

May 2nd, 2010...means new Hold Steady & Sage Francis in the station!!! Coming off the crest of seeing Legion of Liquor & Dreanaught the night before. The local metal band Dreanaught, not the killer celtic punk band from BC called The Dreadnoughts with an o.) You may have seen us there. We were the ones in togas. Threw in some old Ted Leo & old Japanther for good measure, and stir...

April 25th, 2010In this episode I'm: excited for my birthday (which was the 28th! The same day as Hollerado! Who were just alright.), coming down off Moses Mayes the night before - and Subcity the night before that, gearing up for The Weber Brothers, and Pack AD, always always getrting restless (This City is a Drag) and cheering on the Bruins!

April 18th, 2010In this episode, I am obsessed with the creative genious of both Ted Leo & Greg MacPherson. They both completely blow me away. Despite that I hate the comparison, they are both highly skilled songwriters, and I finally got to see Greg release his first album in 4 years on April 10th. I also worked merch for him & rocked out 1500$ worth of it! Hell yeah!And afterwards, I went to the Op Ivy tribute at the Albert.
